Ming

Ming is a library for generating Macromedia Flash files (.swf), written in C, and includes useful utilities for working with .swf files.

It has wrappers that allow it to be used in C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Perl.

Releases through to 0.3.0 progressed slowly, though the new 0.4.0 release has picked up speed, become more reliable, and supports Win32 much better. Also supports Solaris, and will likely support MacOS X as well.

Recent Ming releases have updated support for PHP. The code can now be built for either PHP4 or PHP5.

Ming 0.4.2 was never actually released, but packages were created, released, etc. so this release (0.4.3) is an official release which rectifies the lack of a formal release and includes a number of important fixes made since 0.4.2-RC2.
